We had a great experience at Dewayne Hayes. The hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful. Quiet and peaceful area along the river. Clean bathrooms and very well maintained camping spots. Highly recommend this campground!

Wife and I love this place. It is close enough to town to never miss anything. Columbus Mississippi has about everything you would ever need. The spots on the high numbers have better views of the barge traffic but most are not FHU.
I found an app that let's you look at Barge traffic so you can see when one is close. It's called Marine Traffice. Available on Google Play. Probably on Apple store too.

Dewayne Hays is a great campground with flat level camping spots. The people that work there are great.
We always stop here when we go back and forth to the gulf of America.

We love this campground and have stayed there a number of times. We enjoy seeing the barges going up and down the river. Lots of wildlife to view even seen some bald eagles. The bathhouse is clean and grounds are maintained but like all the COE’s we have camped at in Mississippi and Alabama they could use some TLC. Their roads are beginning to deteriorate and need repaving. Apparently our tax dollars are stretched thin in this department or wasted somewhere else. They have increased their prices from a year ago but are still a bargain.
